"It's essentially a show about a girl who runs away from home to become a dancer in New York," McKechnie says. "It's a personal story, but it gives me a platform to re-create Broadway numbers from shows I've been in."

Among McKechnie's hit shows: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Promises, Promises, Sweet Charity, Follies, and State Fair.

"It's wonderful fun for me to re-create the numbers for the audience while I’m infusing my personal point of view," she says. "And telling stories about incredible people I’ve been able to work with: Michael Bennett, Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon, Harold Prince. Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, Ann Miller, Frank Loesser. And Richard Jay-Alexander!"
